Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

The works recorded here were written by Charpentier for the convent of Port-Royal-de-Paris in a very plain style: typically in unison (occasionally in two parts) with organ accompaniment; variety was provided by alternating between solo voices and choir and between sung sections and solo organ. The bulk of the disc is a complete Mass setting (including propers) that Charpentier composed in honor of the convent's abbess (and her brother the Archbishop); where the composer specifies that the organist should improvise solos, Foccroulle plays colorful items from a collection of organ pieces for parish use by André Raison. Charpentier's music is tuneful and attractive but austere--when, at the elevation, we hear a luscious motet for three sopranos, the effect is almost shocking. --Matthew Westphal

5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful and moving recording., June 12, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Marc-Antoine Charpentier: Oeuvres pour le Port-Royal (Audio CD)
If you are a fan of baroque choral music this is an absolute must have. The recording is crystl clear and the music and choral performances are incredibly moving. I am very disappointed to see that this item is no longer in stock because this has become one of my all time favorites.
